Rookie Brice Garnett started with an eagle and shot a 4-under 66 on Friday to reach 7-under 133 for a one-stroke lead over Chris Stroud (64) and Robert Streb (68) at the PGA tournament at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

Adam Scott, playing as No. 1 in the world for the first time at the course called Hogan's Alley, had birdies on three of his last seven holes for a 68 to get to 1 under. He has made the cut in his last 34 PGA Tour events, the longest active streak. Matt Kuchar (70), ranked No. 4 in the world, had a chance to move to the top with a victory. But he missed the cut by a stroke at 2-over 142.

Champions Tour: Tom Watson shot a 3-under 68 for a share of the lead in the Senior PGA Championship with fellow Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and three other players at Benton Harbor, Michigan. The 64-year-old Watson, playing alongside Langer and Montgomerie, had five birdies and a double bogey -- on the par-4 12th -- to reach 4-under 138 after two rounds at Harbor Shores.

LPGA Tour: Catriona Matthew shot a 5-under 67 at the Airbus LPGA Classic to take a one-stroke advantage over Charley Hull (67) into the weekend at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Crossings Course in Mobile, Alabama.
